[QUOTE="Julius Germanicus, post: 2878372, member: 80783"]Thanks for looking it up! That is much better, even though would have been preferable if they had updated the Sixbid and Numisbid pictures as well. Also it would have been good if they had at least named the Emperors because as it is the lot will not show up in any search (if you look for "Nero" on those two engines it will not show of course). They do include individual coins with a minimum bid of as little as 32 Euros in their sale (with proper photos and description!). Leu, on the other hand, starts at 200 USD of course and does not even include bundles. I liked all those coins - at least I found them sufficient for my my first portrait gallery when I was a beginner two years ago. Had I imagined they would become surplus one day, I would not have bought them in the first place. But then I got carried away and upgraded them instead of obeying my self imposed restrictions :) From a financial perspective it makes more sense to buy one truely great Sestertius instead of ten mediocre ones of different emperors, but I guess that is a phase most new collectors have been through.[/QUOTE]
